PEGGO! Save 20% on your Winnipeg Bus Pass!
Assiniboine College Winnipeg students now have access to discounted fares when riding Winnipeg Transit thanks to a partnership between ACSA and the City of Winnipeg. This is facilitated by e-Fare which is a smart card fare payment system that allows you to ride transit in the Winnipeg region. Passengers can utilize long-term cards or short-term tickets at a discounted rate to meet their transportation needs. Students utilizing e-Fare can ride Winnipeg Transit, e-Fare Express, e-Fare Shuttle, and e-Fare Link.
Any Student in a degree or diploma program based out of Assiniboine College Winnipeg or living in Winnipeg is be eligible to receive the PEGGO Card during the course of their studies. There is a one-time $5.00 Card Fee that will be paid directly to the ACSA in order to receive the PEGGO Card.
If you are interested in getting a PEGGO Card follow the link below to complete a request. A student email is needed to complete this form. Once complete, we will mail a PEGGO Card to you along with instructions on how to register your PEGGO card with Winnipeg Transit. You may also review the registration process below.
Step 1 – Request & Pay for your PEGGO Card
- Request your PEGGO Card from the ACSA Here: ACSA Peggo Card Request Form
Step 2 – Pick Up Your Peggo Card
- Cards will be picked up at the Winnipeg Campus (87-1313 Border Street)
- Please do not go and pick up your card until you have received an email to do so (approximately 24-48 hours after you paid)
- Please use the east-side entrance facing St. James Street.
- If Driving to Pick Up Your Card: You’re welcome to park in front of Unit 87 to pick up your card, regardless of the posted signage; however, you may need a visitor pass.
Step 3 – Register Your Peggo Card
- Before you can load and use your PEGGO card, you will need to create an account and register your card.
- Here is where you can create an account: http://efare.winnipegtransit.com/e-Fare/
Step 4 – Load Your Peggo Card
- Once your card is registered, log into your account on the PEGGO website: http://efare.winnipegtransit.com/
- Once logged in, select “Manage My Card” (add your PEGGO Card if you haven’t done so already) and then “Load My Card” to upload funds to your PEGGO Card. Be sure to select the Student Discount Fare if prompted.
- Please be aware there can be up to a 48-hour delay when adding new funds. It is each students’ responsibility to ensure they have funds on their PEGGO Card at the time they are riding the bus.
Step 5 – Get On The Bus!
Once you’ve registered your card and loaded funds to your discounted student card, you are good to go! Remember to always keep your student card with your PEGGO Card, because transit staff will ask to see it for confirmation from time to time.
